Dele Alli back at Spurs but still in the stands seven months after last appearance! Ex-Tottenham star in north London for NFL action

Dele Alli has been back at Tottenham, but still finds himself in the stands some seven months after his last competitive appearance.

The ex-Spurs star returned to north London on Sunday to take in a different kind of football. He was among those in attendance for the NFL clash between the Buffalo Bills and the Jacksonville Jaguars, with plenty of Premier League players known to be fans of gridiron action.

Dele briefly graced Spurs’ impressive home ground before completing a transfer to Everton in January 2022. Things have not played out for him as planned on Merseyside, with a loan spell taken in at Turkish side Besiktas last season. His last appearance for them came on February 26.

Dele’s contract at Everton is due to expire in the summer of 2024, with the expectation being that he will be on the move again at that stage. For now, he is enjoying an extended break – with the Jags edging out the Bills 25-20 in an impressive victory that has seen them claim London-based wins in back-to-back weekends.
